Push notifications on iOS using Prowl
I figured out a super easy way to get Twine to send push notifications to iOS devices.
1. Buy 'Prowl' from the iOS App Store ($2.99, link)
2. Create a Prowl account on http://www.prowlapp.com/
3. Log into your Prowl account in the Prowl iOS app
4. Get your custom API key from https://www.prowlapp.com/api_settings.php
5. Take your custom API key and add "@api.prowlapp.com" to the end of it. (Here's more info about Prowlmail)
6. Create your desired rule in Twine's rule building interface, add an email action and take your Prowlmail address from step 5 and put that into the To: field, put whatever subject and title you want.
7. Save to Twine and try it out!

Comments
I'm still holding out hope for a pure push-alert solution for iOS that doesn't involve an email gateway eventually.
YOURAPIKEY+0-nobody.strip.nohash@api.prowlapp.com
I just put my message in the Twine email subject field so that the when I hide the body with the 'nobody' flag, I don't hide my message.
More details about Prowl's 'Option Flags' here (http://www.prowlapp.com/prowlmail.php)
Sorry but new at this
